There is the case of the worriers. People who, when not given positive confirmation otherwise, assume the worst. I'm not talking cheating, but like accidents. "He's 5 minutes late, maybe he got in a car accident and died!" It's not healthy, but it is common and isn't a trust issue.That said, my partner doesn't get to track me, and I have no interest in tracking them.

"What if we did Uber, but for goats!"

I cancelled my subscription. I keep it around to watch Star Trek mostly, but I can get used copies of the complete season DVDs and do it that way instead. Bonus, I don't have to worry about those getting taken away from me.

I probably can't do that for the newer Trek shows, but what Arr you going to do?

Being Linux, if you were really motivated, you could probably write a shim service that converted CEC to basic input that it does support, or someone out there probably already has.

You are probably correct that the firewall is the culprit. Good suggestion.

I realize disabling the firewall for testing is OK, but I recommend looking up what it takes to open the ports or app in the firewall instead. I've spent my whole career running into and fixing instances where techs disabled firewalls for "testing" and never re-enabled them.

As others have mentioned, the websites tend to be limited both by resolution and functionality.

My TV supports CEC(most do these days) which will pass the remote input onto the devices connected to it, like a computer. Which means with Plasma Big Picture I can navigate with my remote, and any app that supports navigation with simple arrow key input would work great.

Unfortunately, the streaming websites, last time I tried, absolutely suck at that and assume you are navigating with a mouse.

Glad to see it being picked back up. I tried it previously and I really didn't like it. It felt half baked. The new version looks like a substantial improvement. Now if only every streaming app didn't lock their services behind DRM and mobile apps.

I jumped in and had a look around. I'd recommend making a welcome area around where the new player spawn is. A little lighting and a few signs for the rules would be helpful.

That bully sure is nice, he did a great job cleaning up my nose bleed from when he punched me in the face!

Interstellar is what I'm using. Generally usuable, but certainly doesn't understand the things that make PieFed special. With so many of the major Lemmy instances spooling up secondary piefed instances, it means it is probably only a matter of time before this issue is resolved.

Four legs good. Two legs better.

 

I'm digging the design. I miss that type of style of RTS.
